Ibiza... Glad To Meet Ya

If you're not sure where to go or want to give most of the popular bars a try, there's actually a "disco bus" that takes party animals to all the major clubs, all night (and morning...) long. Wherever you end up, chances are you'll have a lady around your arm, a beer in your hand, and a head rush from the excitement of realizing that you're at the biggest party in the world.

more than just clubbing?

There is no doubt that even without much preparation, you'll have an enjoyable time clubbing and barhopping. It's the additional fixings that turn your hedonistic Ibiza adventure from great to incredible. One of the unexpected joys of this little haven is the many coves and beaches that line the coast. Private paradises are plentiful and not far away, seeing as the island is only approximately 28 miles long and 15 miles wide. If you didn't get your fill of T&A at the discos, head to popular strips of sand like Cala Salada and Cala Bassa for some pleasant surprises.

With the onset of thousands of travelers and many celebrities, Ibiza has become somewhat of an unofficial fashion center with many unique boutiques sprouting up around the island. No visit would be complete without picking up some wicked Spanish duds worth showing off at any extravagant outing on the island.

old-school charm to boot

Despite the widespread commercialization of this small area of real estate, some interesting European relics remain. If you tour Ibiza Town and San Antonio, some traditional sightseeing (beautiful architecture, Spanish squares) will not leave you disappointed.

Outdoor markets also provide a nice break from expensive restaurant food and give you a chance to see true Ibiza, before it was invaded by horny travelers from around the world. A popular destination is Formentera, a little island away from the party, where you can enjoy the beaches, bicycle tours, picnic lunches, and village strolls. This relaxing change of pace is a ferry ride away from Ibiza.

Another nice bonus is the great food Ibiza offers. Great native and Mediterranean dishes are served at a multitude of small and large restaurants (S'Argamassa Palace, Sa Tasca and C'as Mila, to name a few) located in beautiful areas on the water. There's nothing better than sitting down to an incredible meal before going out on the town for a long night of partying.

There is so much potential in Ibiza; potential to meet many, many hot women, have the time of your life and participate in some of the craziest parties ever. There is no other place like it and I highly recommend you get there before you reach the age where staying up until 10am is no longer appealing. While it can become an expensive trip, the memories (if you remain semi-sober) will be unmatched.

tips for the trip:

Be prepared to drop major cash in Ibiza. Everything is expensive, from the drinks you buy for the women across the bar to the meals and accommodations.

Go against the grain and visit during May-June or September-October to avoid huge queues at the clubs and steep prices (see above).

Buy tickets to club parties prior to waiting in line to avoid major disappointment and long waits.

There are no dress codes in the discos, so be comfortable yet fashionable.

To visit places further out from your hotel area, rent a car. The drives are never long and Ibiza boasts new roads, which lead to the sea at some point or other. You can also rent motorcycles or bikes.
